Accessing .VMDK using VDDK 5.5.4 library

[pprandive]

Hello,

I am new to VMWare and need some help with one issue resulting while calling VixDiskLib_Open() method of VDDK. If this is not the right forum, please let me know the correct forum to take this query to.

Software Details:

ESXi version 6.0

VDDK version 5.5.4 - VMware-vix-disklib-5.5.4-2454786.x86_64.tar.gz. With VDDK version 6.0, some invalid configuration error message is seen.

Operating System Ubuntu 14.04

Description:

VixDiskLib_Open() is resulting into below mentioned error when I try to connect to EXSi server.

[NFC ERROR] NfcNewAuthdConnectionEx: Failed to connect to peer. Error: Connection terminated by server

I noticed that functions VixDiskLib_Init and VixDiskLib_Connect succeed but VixDiskLib_Open() fails with above error.

I tried to debug the issue using strace tool. Here is some of the suspicious entries-
